LED Christmas Lights are popular SAVE ENERGY
Are you looking for a way to add more beauty to your christmas lighting display without your electric meter running wild at the same time? Why don’t you change your incandescent christmas lights to LED lights.
LED ( light emitting diodes) come in all sizes . Here are some things about LEDs you may want to consider if you are wanting to change to them.
- LED lights use much less electricity. If turned on for 8 hours a day for 30 days - the one string of LED lights uses about 3 kilowatt hours (.20 cents) compared to 60 kilowatt hours ($4.20) used by one string of incandescent lights.
- LED lights are brighter.
- LED lights come in many shapes and colors.
- LED lights are cool to the touch so this makes them safer for use with natural trees.
- LED lights last longer.
- LED lights can be used indoors and outdoors.
So even though LED lights are more expensive to buy when you consider the savings in energy usage and the long life of the lights , you’ll come out ahead in the long run.
